Tanqueray Sevilla (70cl, 41.3%)

Tanqueray Sevilla is a London dry gin whose character comes from bittersweet Seville oranges. Orange blossom complements the citrus, while the classic base of juniper, coriander, angelica and liquorice remains. Flor de Sevilla launched in 2018, drawing on an orange recipe by Charles Tanqueray from 1862. It is bottled at 41.3% in a 0.7 litre bottle. The nose is led by ripe orange and orange peel, with juniper and coriander and a floral note from orange blossom. The palate begins with gentle orange sweetness, followed by bitter peel notes and peppery coriander. The finish leaves bitter orange and juniper, drier than the initial sweetness suggests.
